DENVER - February 20, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Foothills Exploration, Inc. (OTC.QB: FTXP) , an independent oil and gas exploration company engaged in the
acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Rockies, reported
today the successful drilling, completion and flow testing of the Stagecoach
111-20H horizontal well, now producing natural gas in commercial quantities.

The Stagecoach 111-20H well is operated by EOG
Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) and Foothills owns 21% Working Interest in
the well. The well has been online for over 30 days and production tubing is
expected to be set in the near term. The well has been classified by the
operator as Confidential with the State of Utah Division of Oil, Gas and
Mining, and consequently only limited data can be provided.

"We are
excited about the Stagecoach drilling results.This successful horizontal well will quickly generate production and
cash flow, which is expected to payout within 30 months,” stated Kevin Sylla,
the Company’s Executive Chairman.“Foothills will continue to look for additional non-operated positions
and drilling interests with other world-class operators to complement our
continuing focus of acquiring producing oil and gas properties in the Rockies,”
continued Sylla.

“In addition to
diversifying the Company’s oil and gas assets, we believe natural gas market
fundamentals have improved materially over the last 12-months, driven by record
exports to Mexico and foreign sales of LNG, coupled with a strong heating
season that has storage levels well below the 5-year average,” stated Chris
Jarvis, the Company’s Executive Vice President of Finance.“These conditions bode well for natural gas
prices to remain firm over the near-term and throughout the rest of 2018,”
continued Jarvis.
